Last fall I was riding in philly in university city, in traffic behind a car (probably a little too close) and they slammed on their brakes because a pedestrian decided to walk (not at a cross walk) across the street 5 feet in front of this car. That is ok except both of my wheels were on the...

I get between 43 and 50 mpg for most of my riding assuming the trip is right since the speedometer is between 8-9% off for me. Going between 70 and 80 mph most of the time. Almost all my riding is on highways. And the gas gauge is the same for mine, the first 2 bars is about 100 miles.
